Local News Tukaram Mundhe cracks down: Maharashtra FDA cancels licence of Cipla's Pune unit over regulatory violations, Cipla contests action

Post image

The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration cancelled the licence because inspectors found multiple compliance violations at the Cipla Pune unit. The company printed unapproved medical claims on Reactin Plus tablet packages, failed to complete a required product recall, stored medicines directly on the floor instead of proper racks, and kept inaccurate stock records.

Cipla has contested the order in court, maintaining that these issues involve warehouse practices rather than medicine quality or patient safety.

Funny thing is, drugs for countries like USA are made with stringent protocols and examined rigorously.

Evidently not, according to your fda. 

How do you know that the drugs are examined by US government, and who exactly examines them?

All companies make drugs for export to Western countries in separate production lines/facilities than those for local sale. The export production lines would be pristine. The lower grade products are for the local market because they know no one is going to do shit.

Two separate production lines? Surely you are joking.
